Why are dreams better than reality?

It feels like forever like a day without a night

To lay your head and be welcomed by sweet memories 0f begotten days

To feel trembles of hope rising from ashes of despair
then to awake.....

And be shattered by reality

Findng that your dream have single handedly lied to you again

that everything you had felt and hoped to happen was just a manifestation of your mind's wants and desires

Dreams are lies made by you mind to fill the dark spots you placed in your head to cope

We become the opposite of normalcy when we cherish the dark instead of the light

The dark takes our emotions and spins tales of what we want life to be and how we wish to be treated

Then the light brings the truth

Hot and Blistering...

The kind of warmth that makes you want to curl up in a ball and burn silently

The truth makes you bear your burns

Silently....

This poem was a sad piece about how you break up with someone but have dreams about them being with you. Its your mind's evil tricky games.
